Frequently asked questions about coffee syrups in hot beverages

Which coffee syrups go best with espresso?

With espresso, powerful, toasted flavors come out best. Choose syrups like hazelnut, caramel or chestnut. These accentuate the coffee's natural bitterness without losing intensity. A small amount - about one teaspoon - is usually enough.

How much coffee syrup should I use in a latte or cappuccino?

The ideal dosage is 1 to 2 cl of syrup per 200 ml cup. That's about 1 to 2 teaspoons. Add the syrup before the milk or espresso so that the flavors mix well. If you want a subtle flavor, use less; for a sweeter latte, you can add a little more.

Can I also use coffee syrups with plant-based milk?

Sure! Bigallet syrups mix well with oat milk, almond milk or soy milk. Because plant-based milk is often a little thinner than cow's milk, the flavor can become overpowering a little faster - so start with a lower dose and taste in between.

Are Bigallet coffee syrups also suitable for cold drinks?

Yes, absolutely. Although this blog focuses on hot drinks, the same syrups are ideal for iced coffee or frappé. First, dissolve the syrup in a little hot espresso, then add ice and milk for a fresh summer variation.

What is the best way to store my coffee syrups?

Store opened bottles at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. Thanks to the high sugar content, Bigallet syrups have a long shelf life. Always seal the bottle tightly and use within six months for best flavor and aroma.
